Gameplay
Need for Speed Payback is a racing game set in an open world environment and will have three playable characters, with different sets of skills. It will be focused on "action driving" and will have the three main characters working together to pull off action movie like sequences. It will also feature dynamic weather system and day-night cycle which effects the gameplay.[2] Unlike the 2015 Need for Speed reboot, Payback will include offline single-player mode.[3]
Plot
The game takes place in Fortune Valley and follows the three main characters: Tyler Morgan (The Racer), Mac (The Showman) and Jess (The Wheelman) as they attempt to take down "The House", a cartel who controls Fortune Valley's underworld.[4][5]
